General practice respiratory clinics
Page last updated: 9:00pm, 18 May 2022
General practice respiratory clinics (GPRCs) provide patients with access to assessment for respiratory symptoms, testing and treatment close to where they live.
GPRCs now operate at 30 locations across Melbourne as part of partnerships between primary health networks and the Victorian and Australian Governments.
Who can access GPRCs?
GPRCs support adults, children, infants and babies with respiratory symptoms to access a comprehensive respiratory assessment and receive immediate support in management of their illness. Respiratory issues include:
- COVID-19 (book ahead)
- influenza and cold symptoms such as a cough, runny nose, sore throat or fever
- asthma
- hay fever
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- emphysema
- pneumonia
- mild shortness of breath*.
*If you have severe trouble breathing, blueness around the mouth, chest pains, or pain in your arms or jaw, call triple zero (000) for urgent help.
If you can’t see your regular GP, a GPRC can provide the face-to-face attention you need. Services are available to people with or without a Medicare card, at no cost to the patient. Some clinics will be open after hours and on weekends (see below for opening hours).

Victorian Government funded GPRCs
In October 2021 the Victorian Government announced that 20 new GPRCs will be established across Melbourne. 11 of these clinics will be in the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) region. The other 9 will be in the Eastern Melbourne PHN and South Eastern Melbourne PHN regions.
Following an expression of interest process, NWMPHN is now working with providers to establish the clinics in our region. The location and further details about these clinics will be published on this page once they are confirmed.
The new GPRCs complement other COVID-19 testing sites including Australian Government-funded GP Respiratory Clinics, hospital respiratory clinics, drive-through and pop-up clinics.
The Victorian Government has funded these 20 clinics until 30 June 2022.

Australian Government funded GPRCs
The Australian Government is funding up to 100 GP respiratory clinics across the country. Visit health.gov.au for more information.

Our role
The 20 GP Respiratory Clinics are funded by the Victorian Government. NWMPHN is responsible for contracting providers and working with them to ensure the clinics operate successfully.
We are keen to ensure that general practices and other primary care providers in our region are aware of and referring patients with respiratory symptoms to these clinics.
